I knew that if I did not let her have her way there might be difficulties, so I agreed and said that I would go back to the hotel and rest upon the sofa in the salon So the procession started, and as we took the allée, to bring us to the Reservoirs on the level I suddenly caught sight of Coralie and her last favoured one! both of whom are supposed to be at Deauville with the rest!
The journey from Deauville to Bagnoles is usually accomplished in three or four hours. Falaise, the birthplace of William the Conqueror, is an interesting old town, but looks as if it had been asleep ever since that great event. The old castle is very fine, stands high, close to the edge of the cliff, so that the rock seems to form part of the great walls.
The thing you missed perhaps most were the children in the Avenue des Champs Elysées. For generations over that part of the public garden the children have held sway. They knew it belonged to them, and into the gravel walks drove their tin spades with the same sense of ownership as at Deauville they dig up the shore.
Coralie was exquisitely dressed, Duquesnois in uniform. I realized that she had seen us, and that she could not avoid coming up to talk, although that had not been her intention When one is supposed to be at Deauville with one's family, and is in reality at Versailles with one's lover one does not seek to recognize one's friends!
We generally went to the sea almost always to the Norman Coast establishing ourselves in a villa sometimes at Deauville, sometimes at Villers, and making excursions all over the country. Some of the old Norman châteaux are charming, particularly those which have remained just as they were before the Revolution, but, of course, there are not many of these.
Evans, in his own carriage, took her safely out of Paris, in the character of a lady of unsound mind whom he and Madame le Breton were conveying to friends in the country. Two days later they reached Deauville after several narrow escapes, the empress, on one occasion, having nearly betrayed herself by an effort to stop a man who was cruelly beating his horse.
He had known slight twinges of it himself, and had often ministered to its qualms in others. It was hardly stronger than the faint gnawing which recalls the tea-hour to one who has lunched well and is sure of dining as abundantly; but it gave a purpose to the purposeless, and helped many hesitating spirits over the annual difficulty of deciding between Deauville and St. Moritz, Biarritz and Capri.
Why can't we choose what we are? I would be an English girl or perhaps French," she added, thinking of the Rue de la Paix. They left Paris and went to Deauville; and here it was that the serpent first crawled into Eden, whispering of forbidden fruit.
Then she cited examples: one off to the Vosges, another at Arcachon, yet another at Deauville. And she reminded him, too, that a certain old lady, one of his old friends of the Faubourg St. Germain, lived only a few miles out of Bourges, and had invited him to come and see her, she didn't know how many times, and that he had promised and promised and never kept his word.
We saw parties seated about in all directions and had glimpses of the white dresses, which are a uniform this year, flitting through the trees. It was so warm this evening that we sat out until ten o'clock. We had a visit from Comte de G., son-in-law of our friend Mrs. L.S. He lives at Deauville, and had announced himself for Monday morning for breakfast at twelve.
